Death note what would you do with it.

[GodofDisaster]

I think most anime fans have seen or heard of the show death note. However for those who haven't let me explain to you what the death note does, so you'll find it easier answering my question.

"The death note is basically a note book with the power to kill anyone whose name is written inside it, by heart attack within 40 seconds". However it can also cause deah by accident, if you say what the accident was and what time it takes place.

So my question is, if you were granted such a power what would you do with it? Would you give it away? Or would you use it for your own personal gain?

Myself personally would just use it when ever it's needed most, say for example some men broke into my house and threatened my family, I would probably use it then to save their lives.

So the question again what would you use the death note for?

Note: Yes this has been searched.

Edit: I have noticed a few posts complaining about the rules. Well let me clear those up so my fellow escapist will have a better understanding.

Rule 1: You have to have a visual image of the person your going to kill. for example say you were going to kill John Smith, you must know what this John Smith looks like in order to kill him. This way anyone sharing the same name is unaffected.

Rule 2: In order to know the name of the person your planning to kill, you can make the eye deal with the death god who give you the note book in the first place. I won't go into details as to what this eye deal is due to spoiler reasons, but if you really want to know then send me a message and I will tell you.

I hope these two new features will answer your confusion.

I'd use it and kill Tiff Needell, Gok Wan, Keanu Reeves, Graham Norton, The X Factor, Big Brother and all reality based shows.

I would kill all the crazy Republicans in the United States. Sarah Palin would be first. I've heard of some crazy called Mitt Romney or something? He's going down. Actually, there wasn't a single person at that Republican Convention thing I liked. I would go on youtube, watch it over again, and kill everyone who spoke. It has their name and face, so I would love to have a death note.

Burn it.

"That shit's unnatural!"

I think light was right and follow in his footsteps but i would win instead

 

[Reep]

Id kill Michael Atkinson or whatever his name is, hes the guy behind no R 18 rating in Aus

 

[ExplosivePterodactyl]

I'd sell it... Not to anyone who goes by the name of Max though. We don't need the end of the world yet.

 

[S-Unleashed]

Brun it. If I used it I couldn't go to Hevan.

I'd use it to write the name of the Death God that gave it to me. Then I would usurp that position as Death God and use my new powers to destroy all life in the known universe.

I would cheat on my taxes, then kill any IRS agent who came to audit me. And I would find a house I really wanted, then kill the owner, and whoever would have inherited it, then bought it with the money I made from cheating on my taxes. I guess I might throw in Binladin's name just to be nice to the world. But I would do whatever I want, then kill anyone who gave me any serious grief about it. And I would get rid of Kristen Stewart, shes just too bad of an actress for everybody to be liking her so much.

Depending on my mood I'd either kill nobody with it or kill a bunch of people I don't like, possibly starting a Xanatos Roulette in the process.

 

[ShotgunShaman]

Kill anyone named "Finnigan Chonmpsky"

Wait, so if I wrote John Smith in the book, would everyone named John Smith on Earth die?

I don't think I'd ever use it to punish somebody. If I could prevent a disaster from happening by killing someone, I would do it, though. Can't be sure what I'd do if I knew the person who would be responsible for that disaster was totally innocent and a good person... Probably do it anyway and then beat myself up over it for decades after. Eh. It would still be the right thing to do, as far as I'm concerned; the people who would have died if I hadn't were innocent too, right?

I would end up forgetting that my notebook was a Death Note, which would result in me using the paper inside for schoolwork.
Yay accidental suicide!

Quoted for Truth.

Killing burglars or anyone else who threatens my life would be fun. Don't know what else I'd use it for though. Not much into bloodlust.

The rule is that you have to know a person's face/photograph (but not painting/drawing) and have it in your mind as you write the name. The first L manages to evade being killed when meeting Light face to face by telling him his name is the same as a famous pop singer, because he knows Light will accidentally kill the singer if he tries to write the name in his book (if he is Kira, which he was).

Oh! That would make an awesome Writer's Craft tragedy. For our freewrites one time, we got "Bad Teachers" as a prompt. Aaah!
